[Opinions] Re: WDYT of these name's I'd consider naming my (hypothetical) daughter?
Ashe - I'm personally not a fan of this name.
Constance - I think that this name is very wonderful, classic name that sounds warm to me. Though, its nickname, Connie, is a favorite of mine as a first name!
Dorothea - I like this name a lot, because Dorothy is one of my favorite names. It adds an extra flair to Dorothy that's admirable, in my opinion.
Juno - This name isn't my cup of tea, but I do appreciate it's history.
Liliana - I think that this is a pretty, elegant name, but part of me is hesitant; Lily (and all elongated forms) has been almost overused, where I am.
Maribelle - I think that this name is stunning, but I kind of struggle to pronounce it! Is it "MAR-ee-bell," or is it "Mary-bell"? Both pronunciations are wonderful, and you can't go wrong with them.
Rowan - I'm sorry, but I can only see this name as masculine; it's not my thing, personally.
Yumi - I don't care much for it in the English-speaking world, as it sounds like the word "yummy"...but, I still think it's a very beautiful name, with a graceful music. I totally appreciate it and its history, and I adore its powerful meaning!

Lily is 100% common, but I've only met one Liliana personally, and it was just a waitress at Olive Garen.
It is unfortunate how Yumi sounds like "yummy", so I'd probably use Yumiko, since I also love the name Miko.
